MISSION

Positional Projects build empathy of place in community, protecting at-risk landmarks through art, history, stewardship and technology.

We gather in the Mojave Desert for arts and culture experiences, to preserve and create safe spaces on public land for belonging and shared care, and connect with the landscape through traditional knowledge, stories, and stewardship.

In collaboration with our cohort of artists, authors, culture bearers, historians, musicians and liked-minded organizations - we reveal hidden stories through on-site happenings and interactive interpretive installations.

Established in 2016, we share discoveries as digital resources, geo-located exhibits and publications and foster storytelling to co-create collective memory.

Our MISSION at Giant Rock

Located outside Landers, CA, once considered the world’s largest free-standing boulder, many are drawn to the sublime awe of the sacred Mother Stone, yet she suffers destruction, debris and desecration.

With Indigenous guidance, our Stories and Stewardship program protects Giant Rock through education, engagement and public art installation, sharing a regard for our common space, flora, fauna on Mother Earth while creating a safe outdoor experience for all visitors from down the street and across the globe.

A popular destination, our events coincide with international off-roading race King of the Hammers, the nation's largest annual UFO and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) conference, Contact in the Desert and National Public Lands Day.

Our MISSION at Llano del Rio

Designated CA State Historic Site #933, the ruins of the Llano del Rio Co-Operative experiment, 1914-1917, contain lessons for future generations unearthed through research and translated by artists to welcome community and compassion for our common lands.

Our ongoing immersive exhibits reveal legacies of social and environmental injustice, neglected histories and connections to the Antelope Valley of today.
 
Our Earth Day programs steward locations while learning history and our ON ALL programs bring Indigenous perspectives, artist responses, in-person making, movement and music activities, inspired by the optimism of past Utopic endeavors.
